FAUCET AND CONNECTION.

SEECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No..478,'716, dated July 12, 1892.

Application iled December 14, 1891. Serial No. 415,027. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

.13e it known that I, SIMON SOHLANGEN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Chicago, county of Cook, and State of Illinois, have invented new and useful Improvements in Faucets and Connections, of which .the following is a specification, reference be- 1ng had to the accompanying drawings, illustrating the invention, in which#- Figure l is a longitudinal sectional elevation of my invention removed from the receptacle to which it is to be applied. Fig. 2 1s an outer end View of the same. Fig. 3 is a section on line fr, Fig. I; Fig. 4., an end View of the-faucet connection removed from the faucet on line y; Fig. 5, lan elevation of the inner end of the faucet connection; Fig. 6, an elevation of the valve in said connection; F 1g. 7, a modification of the connecting portion of the faucet with the faucet connection represented as attached to the head of a barrel Y; Fig. 8, an elevation of the plunger-rod removed from the faucet; Fig. 9, a section and elevation on line z, Fig. 1.

This invention relates to the novel construction of two-part detachable faucets.

The novelty and construction of the faucet and attachment will be fully comprehended by the following detail description.

A represents the head, and B the cylinder, of that portion of the connection which is to project inside of the barrel, and C is the por-A tion which is rigidly secured to the cylinder by solder or otherwise and which is provided with an ordinary screw-thread to be secured in a receptacle in the ordinary manner. The portion C is hollow and communicates with the bore of the faucet I M and cylinder A B, the latter being provided with holes in the ordinary manner to admit liquid to pass out of the faucet. The. enlarged space Within the portion C at E is to permit a valve-seat to be formed on the inner end of C, as shown at Fig. l, and the portion F of the portion C is an inwardly-projecting flange, through which radially are formed two notches G, through which pins H pass to engage the inner portion of the iiange F to connect the faucet I.

An ordinary rubber ring .I is placed between the detachable portions I C, so that when the pins H are inserted through the notches G and the part I turned to the right or left on the part C the connection will be perfect. The inner end of the part I terminates in a thin neck portion K, which telescopes into the part C to support pins H, which arerigid thereto and bear against the inside of said lian ge F. These pins support, by projecting through neck portion K, a bearingsupport X,Fig. 3, through which the plungerrod L has a reciprocating movement, said support not being so broad as to prevent the ready flow of fluid outward. In practice the discharge portion I is formed of the same piece of cast metalwith the discharge-pipe M, and the same is true with the neck K. The part C is a single piece, and the single-headed cylinder A B has its open end secured by solder or other suitable means to the inner end of the part C. A coil-spring T, as is the custom, is placed Within the cylinder to hold the valve W to its seat till acted on by a plunger-rod L. The outer end of the straight portion I is provided with a head N, which has a hole through to serve as a bearing for the reciprocation of said plunger-rod, and a port-hole a is also formed therein to admit air to the bore of the port I. TWO standards V are supported by and project up from the discharge portion M, and to and between the standards is pivoted a cam-lever P Q, which is so constructed that the inner end of the cam portion Q is brought against a buer R on the outer end of the plunger-rod D, when the lever P is brought to dotted lines and the said rod is forced in to open the valve W for the escape of fluid from a vessel, a portion of the head of Which is shown at Y, Fig. 7. On this gure the fixed portion is Velongated to suit conditions where a marble slab or a partition is interposed between the head of a vessel and the detachable portion I.

I am aware that coil-springs have been placed Within cylinders extending into receptacles to close valves, and that two-part detachable faucets of different constructions from my faucet have been before me patented. I note the English Patent'No. 9,713, dated July 27, 1886, in which a side key-lever which operates an internal reciprocating cylinder to cause a iiow of iiuid and to shut off the flow is employed, and a commonhollovvr stop-cock is employed to regulate the flow of iluid. I disclaim as my invention this construction, and.

confine my invention to the elements set forth and combined in the 'claim appended hereto. I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States- In an improvement in two-part detachable `faucets, the straight hollow portion I, with the curved discharge portion and neck portion as a part thereof, in combination with a fixed portion, a valve therein, a cylinder attached to .the inner end of the fixed portion, and a spring; therein operating against the valve, a notched internal ange on the xed 1 portion, and pins on said neck portion oonneeting.,r the parts, a plunger-rod extending through the straight portion, with a bearing Within the fixed portion andin a head at the outer end of said straight portion, and a camlever exterior to the faucet, operating against the said plunger-rod, as and for the purpose specified.
